Who could help loving

Who could help loving a vegetable that can be baked into pies, carved into outrageous faces and pressed into service as fairy-tale coaches? Pumpkins are a long-season crop, but with a little planning you can grow them anywhere from USDA zone 3 south.

Hi,

I ran across the above on the internet, and I found "who could help loving" sounds odd. What on earth does it mean? Is it "No one but love?"

Besides, is it right to interpret outrageous as wonderful, and a long-season crop as a crop that takes a whole season to grow? Thanks.
